ROME, Feb. lot is expected tha
Cardinal Jacobini's letter 10 the NunciC
at Munich will lead to lively debate il
the Chamber Of Deputies. 1t Isl, though
to cover hope of the Vatican that Ger
mary will exert a pressure on Italy tt

THE CARDINALS LETTER.
BERLIN, Feb. l0.-The Munich Allie,
imagine Zeitung publishes Cardinal Jaco-
bini's letter to the Nuncio at Munich. 1t
is dated January 3. The Cardinal says
in view of the impending revision CO tie
church laws the Pope desires the Center
to support the Septennate bill in every
possible way and concludes: at is well
known that the government attaches the
greatest Importance to the passage of the
bill. If by it's adoption it should be found
possible to avert the danger of war
in the near future the Center would
render great services to the Vatican and
the cause of humanity in Europe by sup
porting the bill. On the contrary, in case
of the hostile attitude the Center would
be considered unpatriotic and dissolu-
ton of the ReiChstag would cause en-
barrassments and uncertainties to the
Center party. Cardinal Jacobini in
structs the Nuncio to urge the leaders of
the Center to influence their colleagues
in favor of the Septennate and assure
them that such course would greatly
satisfy the Holy Father.

All really great California excursions
start from Fort Worth, the railroad
center. Last night the greatest excursion
party ever known in Texas left Fort
Worth over the Texas and Pacific on four
trains. There were $40 passengers, and
it required thirty-one sleeping cars to
afford each passenger chance to take q
nap. The Union depot looked as If q
monster mass-meeting was in progress.
few minutes before President Fordyce
(of the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas
and party started on their drive over the
city of Fort Worth, number of citizens
were congregated around the magnates,
talking earnestly. A stranger, supposed
to be from Dallas, had his curiosity
greatly excited, and approaching Mr.
Thomas Witten, said, "What's the ex-

gentlemen talking there?" answered Mr..
Witten. eyes; that's it.' "Oh, that's

GouLD's FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR.

THE ATCHISoN SYSTEM BUYING AND
BUILDING NEW LINES IN MANY DIREC
TONS.
The Atchison seems Unsuitable in so far
as tie acquisition of old line and the
building Of new ones is concerned, and
now that the Kansas City and Chicago eX-
tension and the Kansas City and st. Louis
line have been decided upon and are
virtually out of the way, the most formi-
dable competitor Mr.. Gould has yet en-
countered is again reaching out for new
worlds to conquer, and is endeayor-
ing to secure line from St.
Joseph to connect with its St.
Louis and Kansas City, St. Louis
and Chicago and Kansas City and Chi
cago extension. A rumor has been cur
rent in Boston railway circles for some
